ETNIA is a Portuguese non governmental organization aiming to promote the cultures of the world in Portugal and beyond. Though Its main focuses are traditional cultures from Lusophone, Mediterranean an Latin countries, the organisation has always based its work upon a clear concern of promoting multiculturalism and north-south dialogue, seeing culture as a tool for reciprocal and multiple discovery and respect for peoples, minorities and local or regional expressions. As a natural evolution of its work, ETNIA has been also gradually involved in projects to explore links and interactions between culture, environment and development
